    Forgive? Who Me?

     | 3,608 views

    We desire, and expect God’s forgiveness when we ask. But it is so hard to offer that forgiveness to others when they sin against us.

    Forgive? Who Me? Matthew 18:21-35 I remember this story about a famous person in American history, and for the life of me, I can’t remember who it was. Anyway, this person was asked one Sunday afternoon about the worship service he attended that morning. “What did the preacher preach about?” ...read more

    based on 60 ratings
     | 9,547 views

    The Transfiguration is both about how God revealed himself through Jesus Christ as well as a story about Peter almost missing it because he would not stop blathering. This is is a call for self examination and repentance. Today is Superbowl Sunday.

    Matthew 17:1-9 Paonia United Methodist Church February 6, 2005 Transfiguration, The First Super Sunday What a morning! Baptisms, new church members, and communion coming up.

    Biblical guidelines for conflict resolution - OUTLINE with some manuscript elements but PLENTY of room to Personalize this message.

    Introduction: I heard a story about three umpires having a conversation. The rookie said, "Some are balls and some are strikes. I call’em like I see’em."

    The importance of the transfiguration in our lives as Christians

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Sometimes through our human nature or perhaps, in my case, just plain stupidity, I don’t know if any of you have ever looked into a light bulb. If you have, then for the first couple of seconds you are totally blinded, but after a couple of ...read more

    This is on the Transfiguration.

    What are our greatest needs? Food? Clothing? Shelter? Those things certainly are important, but is there a greater need? Set the stage: in Matthew 16, Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ. Jesus then went on to tell his disciples that he would soon be rejected and put to death. Jesus then ...read more

    The last shall be first. We belong to a generation that will see the culmination of the previous moves of God. He is visiting His Church again with a revelation of power, presence and praise!

    God gives his gifts, not based on our merit, ability of achievement, but based on his generous grace.

    It’s hard to miss the hype of a TV show like American Idol. I haven’t really paid much attention to it in the past three seasons, but it caught my eye a couple of weeks ago. It has a lot of interesting elements: the fairy tale ‘rags to riches’ angle; the off-beat personalities; the actual ...read more

    One son says he’ll do the work, and doesn’t. Another says he won’t do the work, and does. Which one best describes us? And is there a third option?

    Growing up, I was a huge fan of the University of Kentucky basketball. I still follow them closely, but nothing like when I was younger. I idolized their players, I knew all their stats, I watched their games on TV like it was a life or death struggle. My favorite player when I was in third grade ...read more

    This is on the cleansing of the Temple.

    Last week recap: Palm Sunday and Triumphal Entry: donkey, crowds, cheering, etc. Mark places the temple cleansing on the next day, while in Matthew it appears to happen the same. It probably happened the next day. Read Matthew 21:12-17. This passage has often been misunderstood. At times ...read more
